A/N: First of all I wanted to say thank you to everyone who favorited and are following my story and to Martha who reviewd(: it makes me so happy to know you guys like my story (I literally started jumping in my seat while squealing), so much that I actually started writing right after, because I was so eager to make another chapter for you guys :D
So I still thought that even the last chapter was too short and tried yet again to make it longer (maybe I can try making it longer every chapter…), hopefully I succeeded.
Rated T: For language, violence, and some sexual content (nothing explicit).
Disclaimer: I do not own X-Men or any Marvel characters. Only my OC.
…
You know that feeling, when you're in a room full of people that you don't know, and you feel as if every single one of them is staring at you?
That's how October feels currently.
Not that everyone was staring at her, but that didn't mean it didn't feel like they were, which made October feel extremely uncomfortable. She glanced at Pixie, and saw that she was chatting with Kitty and Jubilee, while Bobby and Rogue listened in occasionally putting their two cents in or asking something.
October sighed 'How many times have I sighed today…' she thought and looked out the window. She noticed that the storm was still going and that it was raining now; her eyes sparked in content.
She didn't know why but her eyes would do that from time to time, just randomly spark with electricity, and guessed that was why all the kids at the Foster home were scared shitless of her. She hadn't noticed it at first until she actually caught sight of it in the mirror one day but now knows whenever they spark; it feels like an electric current but in her eyes, it's weird but true.
"Your eyes always do that."
October's head snapped to the voice. It was John. He was looking right at her, he looked bored but his eyes stared intently at her, she suddenly felt self-conscious and averted her eyes back to the window, and shrugged as a response.
Flick click flick click flick click flick click
October pursed her lips in irritation, she didn't know why he did that with his lighter but it was currently driving her insane (even more so then Pixie on a sugar high).
Flick click flick click flick click flick click
She turned her head towards him; he wore a smug smirk this time while continuing to flick his Zippo lighter, she could feel her eyes spark in irritation, which only made his smirk grow.
"Can you stop that, its bothersome." She said, annoyance evident in her voice.
"No, I don't think I will." He said, smirk still present.
October glared at him, but again turned towards the window, tired of looking at the smug look on his face. But still felt his eyes on her, which made her feel more uncomfortable then she already was just sitting at the table.
"I've seen your drawing before, their very good."
This time it was a different voice, one with a deep and thick accent; October looked over toward Piotr who was silently sitting next to John, both sitting across from herself.
October smiled slightly at him.
"Likewise."
Piotr nodded his head toward her before turning his head to listen to whatever Pixie was talking about. October was about to look back out the window, but caught John fiery gaze; she narrowed hers at him.
"What?" she snapped rather rudely.
He scoffed at her and continued to flick his lighter.
"So you'll talk to Metal Man but not me, that's a little mean don't you think?" He retorted.
"Maybe he doesn't annoy me, ever thought about that." October said sharply.
They stared at each other for awhile, seeing who would back down first, but so far neither was going to. Suddenly John smirked and leaned back in his chair, once again flicking his lighter; October furrowed her brows in confusion. He chuckled.
"Not bad Sparky." He said chuckling and crossed his arms across his chest.
To say October was confused and angry was an understatement but chose to ignore him as she got up from her seat and over to a still chattering Pixie 'My god how long can she keep this up' October thought as she bent over to her ear.
"I'm going back to our room, okay?" she whispered, not wanting the attention from the rest of the table.
Pixie stopped talking and snapped her head up; she looked at her with a slightly sad expression but then looked at her with a stern or determined (October couldn't tell) face.
"I'll go with you then." Was her reply, which was one of her rare firm tones.
October shook her head lightly; also aware of the attention she and Pixie were displaying 'Why couldn't everything be simpler…' She thought tiredly, but gave her a small smile to reassure her that she would be okay alone.
Pixie looked disappointed but sighed nonetheless and beamed her usual smile, turning back to the table, and talking to her heart's content.
Before turning, October and Johns eyes met, but she quickly averted them and started walking down the hall and to her room; ignoring the eyes burning holes into her back.
…
Okay, so I'm not sure I made it as long as I would have liked but I was running short on what to do for this chapter, but fear not I will try again.
And as for you Martha, October is slowly adjusting to life at the Mansion and after being in Foster care and not having any friends, she is still having are hard time accepting Pixie as an actually real friend but soon will. And as for her powers, you will find out soon enough(; lol sorry ^_^"
So hope you guys liked this chapter and please review(:
